So if you make an x86-internal helper function global, please prefix it with x86_ or so: unsigned long x86_get_segment_base(unsigned int segment) Keeping the _get name also keeps it within the nomenclature of the general segment descriptor API family: get_desc_base() set_desc_base() get_desc_limit() set_desc_limit() [x86_]get_segment_base() > Also add a lockdep_assert_irqs_disabled() to make sure it's always > called with interrupts disabled. Please make this a separate patch, this change gets hidden in the noise of the function movement and renaming otherwise, plus it also makes the title false and misleading: perf/x86: Rename and move get_segment_base() and make it global Thanks, Ingo
